Paediatrics (babies and children)

Paediatrics is the medical speciality devoted to babies, children and young people up to the age of 16. Our paediatricians care about helping children feel good. They treat physical illness and advise young people, their carers and parents on how to cope with health related difficulties and build healthy foundations for later life.

The paediatricians at Viveka combine extensive medical knowledge and experience with recognition of the emotional and family influences that can contribute to concerns such as asthma, constipation, eczema and sleep disturbance. They encourage wellbeing for all the family, offering postnatal care and addressing parental concerns about development and educational and behavioural issues.

Our highly experienced paediatricians lead the children’s health team at Viveka, using the support of complementary therapies to enhance emotional and physical health for children and families.
